White paper
Improving energy efficiency in cellular IoT devices
Decreasing the data and power consumption of IoT devices is highly desirable. When achieved, it increases battery lifespan, lowers manufacturing costs, lowers connectivity costs, and results in smaller battery sizes.
In this report, we address the problem of lowering the power consumption of IoT devices that rely on cellular connections.
Data usage and overall power consumption are intimately related in cellular connectivity. Minimising headers is also an obvious technique to cut down on data usage.
Learn how to reduce overall power usage by 45–46% using Connectors.
This white paper covers
- Onomondo Connectors and how they reduce data consumption
- The problem with SDKs
- A new architecture for IoT connectivity
The data in this white paper is created by testing power-saving capabilities in various scenarios. Overall, Onomondo Connectors led to an immediate power saving of 45-46% coupled with 90 times less data used in our tests.
